і and й can be used interchangeably as conjunctions and in the beginning of some words for euphony. But їде starts in ї (not i), so it's not the case. Іде and йде are the forms of a word іти, їде is a form of їхати. Іти is usually used when you move your feet, їхати - when you use some kind of vehicle. Іти can also be used to talk about routes of vehicles

That's mostly a problem of English, where "go" can mean anything from walking through the forest to taking a flight to India and back home.

Yes, and in addition: "іде" can be written after a consonant sound, but "йде" - after a vowel one (for euphony). Example: вона йде, but він іде
